Exceptional Sissy Spacek as Carrie
IF YOU’VE GOT A TASTE FOR TERROR… TAKE CARRIE TO THE PROM
Carrie White (Sissy Spacek), a shy and troubled teenage girl who is tormented by her high school peers and her fanatically religious mother, begins to use her powers of telekinesis to exact revenge upon them. Carrie directed by Brian De Palma is one of the best film adaptations of a Stephen King work and one of the best horrors ever made.
Journalist Brianna Wu shared: “Horror is one of the only genre films where women get to be the star, and have rich emotional lives.” Sissy Spacek's iconic performance as the titular character of Carrie White is by far the best screen portrayal we have seen in the horror films.

“Carrie is a movie that is intensely psychological and is full of truths about human nature and feminine power”
“Thanks to Spacek and De Palma, this is one horror film that’s as likely to make you cry as it is to make you scream (and it will definitely make you jump, no matter how many times you rewatch that scene).”
“The reason Carrie is still held in such high regard as a horror classic is very simple: it’s all in the sheer directorial bravado. De Palma at the top of his game.”
